That's beautiful, mostly the weather for me. That's looking AT Challenger from KC's Avenue, correct?

Thank you! It was a beautiful day, even with the weather. But sometimes that's what makes for the best photos. Yup! that was coming back from KC, about to exit the avenue.

That descent was hellish on a beautiful, sunny day. I can't imagine doing it in a surprise hailstorm.

The descent down Challenger in general I give -3/5 stars. In fact, it owes me some stars. We just waited the worst of the hail out by hiding under a rock.
